These events occur during fasting and produce glucose to maintain a rela- subsequent increase in the concentration of tively constant level of blood glucose. The liver, in turn, uses some of these fatty acids to syn- thesize triacylglycerols, which then are used because acetyl CoA carboxylase is inactive, malonyl CoA levels are low, and CPTI in the hepatic production of VLDL. VLDL is (carnitine:acyltransferase I) is active (see Fig. Acetyl CoA, produced by - not stored in the liver but is secreted into the oxidation, is converted to ketone bodies.

The gluconeogenic enzymes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase, and glucose 6-phosphatase are induced. Fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase is also active because, during fast- ing, the level of its inhibitor, fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, is low. The corresponding enzymes of glycolysis are not very active during fasting. The rate of glucokinase is low because it has a high Km for glucose and the glucose concentration is low. Phosphofructokinase-1 is not very active because the concentration of its activator fructose 2,6-bisphosphate is low. Pyru- vate kinase is inactivated by cAMP-mediated phosphorylation.

During fasting, the glucagon/insulin ratio rises, causing cAMP levels to be elevated. Protein kinase A is acti- vated and phosphorylates HSL, activating this enzyme. HSL-P initiates the mobilization of adipose triacylglycerol by removing a fatty acid (FA). Other lipases then act, producing fatty acids and glycerol. Insulin stimulates the phosphatase that inactivates HSL in the fed state. Regulation of the Use of Glucose and Fatty Acids by Muscle During exercise, the fuel that is used initially by muscle cells is muscle glycogen. As exercise continues and the blood supply to the tissue increases, glucose is taken up from the blood and oxidized. Liver glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis replenish the blood glucose supply. However, as insulin levels drop, the concentration of GLUT4 transporters in the membrane is reduced, thereby reducing glucose entry from the cir- Muscle GLUT4 transporters also culation into the muscle. Thus, if produces NADH and acetyl CoA, which slow the flow of carbon from glucose energy levels are very low, and AMP levels through the reaction catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase (see Fig. Thus, the increase, glucose can still be transported oxidation of fatty acids provides a major portion of the increased demand for ATP from the circulation into the muscle to pro- generation and spares blood glucose. THE IMPORTANCE OF AMP AND FRUCTOSE 2,6-BISPHOSPHATE The switch between catabolic and anabolic pathways is often regulated by the lev- els of AMP and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate in cells, particularly the liver. As a cell uses ATP in energy-requiring path- ways, the levels of AMP accumulate more rapidly than that of ADP because of the adenylate kinase reaction (2 ADP S ATP and AMP). The rise in AMP levels then signals that more energy is required (usually through allosteric binding sites on enzymes and the activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase), and the cell will switch to the activation of catabolic pathways. As AMP levels drop, and ATP levels rise, the anabolic pathways are now activated to store the excess energy. CHAPTER 36 / INTEGRATION OF CARBOHYDRATES AND LIPID METABOLISM 677 The levels of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate are also critical in regulating glycolysis versus gluconeogenesis in the liver. Under conditions of high blood glucose, and insulin release, fructose 2,6 bisphosphate levels will be high because PFK-2 will be in its activated state. The fructose 2,6 bisphosphate activates PFK-1, and inhibits fructose 2,6 bisphosphatase, thereby allowing glycolysis to proceed.

Her arterial blood pH and serum bicarbonate were low, and ketone bodies above 200 mg/dL. A 2-hour postprandial (after a meal or after an oral glucose load) plasma were present in her blood and urine (normally, ketone bodies are not present in the glucose level between 140 and 199 mg/dL urine). In addition, her serum glucose level was 648 mg/dL (reference range defines a condition known as impaired glu- 80 110 fasting and no higher than 200 in a random glucose sample).

While awaiting the report of his initial serum salicylate level, his stomach was lavaged, and several white tablets were found in the stomach aspirate. He was examined repeatedly and showed none of the early symptoms of salicylate toxicity, such as respiratory stimulation, upper abdominal distress, nausea, or headache. His serum salicylate level was reported as 92 g/mL (the usual level in an adult receiving a therapeutic dosage of 4 5 g/day is 120 350 g/mL, and a level of 800 g/mL is considered potentially lethal). He was admitted for overnight observation and continued to do well. A serum salicylate level the following morning was 24 g/mL. Veere complained of light- Water gain headedness and “pins and needles” (paresthesias) in his hands and around his lips.

Both urinary solute excretion and water loss in expired air, which amount to Fig. Body fluid homeostasis (constant almost 400 mL/day, occur during fasting as well as during periods of normal food body water balance).

The degree of knee flexion is modulated mainly by the hamstrings purchase 20 mg cialis super active visa, and in children with CP order cialis super active 20 mg with mastercard, full knee extension at initial contact usually is the result of overlengthening of the hamstrings. Full knee extension at initial contact is also seen in chil- dren with hypotonia and ataxia. Increased knee flexion at foot contact is much more common. This in- creased flexion helps shock absorption; however, this is often associated with plantar flexion and toe strike, which places an immediate strong external ex- tension moment on the knee that the hamstrings have to resist. During weight acceptance, there tend to be two patterns of knee motion; one is immediate extension from initial contact position and the other is increased knee flexion, which may occur because of eccentric gastrocsoleus contraction, weak gas- trocnemius, or a poor moment arm of the foot. The amount of knee flexion during weight acceptance should be 10° to 20° if it is normally controlled by the gastrocnemius and soleus eccentric contraction. Gait 323 ion is more than 20°, it is likely due to weakness of the gastrocsoleus or an insufficient moment arm at the foot. As the gait cycle proceeds to midstance, if there was knee flexion during weight acceptance, knee extension should now begin. If the knee flexion continues into midstance, then a crouched gait pattern is present (Case 7. The primary causes of increased knee flexion in midstance are knee flexion contractures, hamstring contractures, a deficient foot moment arm, and gas- trocsoleus weakness (Figure 7. A secondary etiology may be significant hip flexion contracture, which can limit knee extension in midstance. Often, there are several causes of increased knee flexion in midstance and all pri- mary and secondary causes should be identified. This identification involves considering the actual magnitude of the flexion by evaluating the knee ex- tension in midstance on the kinematic evaluation, the ankle moment in mid- stance, and the knee moment in midstance. If the ankle moment is normal or below normal, and the knee flexion is not increased, then the ankle weak- ness and foot moment arm are the most likely causes. If the kinematics show the knee extending to the limits of the fixed knee flexion contracture measured on physical examination, then the knee joint contracture is a likely cause. If the ankle has a high plantar flexion moment and the knee has a high flexion moment, it is likely a combination of contracture of the gastrocnemius and the hamstrings. If the hip extension peak occurs early, is decreased, and the physical examination shows a significant hip flexion contracture, then hip flexion contracture may also be contributing to the midstance phase knee flexion deformity. If children use ambulatory aids such as crutches and the hamstring muscles are not really contracted, there is a tendency for them to fall into back-kneeing, both when the gastrocsoleus is overactive, and when it is too weak. If children are independent ambulators or have overactive hamstrings, they will be strongly drawn to a crouched gait pattern. If chil- dren are very strong and have high tone, they will be drawn to keep the knees stiff and vault in midstance phase. This vault action raises the body and in- creases the energy cost of walking; however, it has the benefit of allowing the contralateral leg to clear the floor during swing. Also, by raising the body in midstance, the body can then fall forward in terminal stance so forward mo- mentum can be used at initial contact and the contralateral limb can use the gluteus to lift the body back up again (Figure 7. The back-kneeing position in midstance phase is an especially difficult problem to address. This position has been shown to follow three patterns, with one pattern having predominantly overactive gastrocsoleus muscles, the second having the HAT segment center of gravity move anterior to the knee often in the face of a weak gastrocnemius, and the third having the HAT center of gravity moving posterior to the hip but anterior to the knee. If dorsiflexion with knee extension is possible, children should be placed in an orthosis that allows 3° to 5° of dorsiflexion while limiting plantar flexion to minus 5°. If there is a pattern in which the ground reaction force is moving either significantly in front or behind the knee in the face of a weak gastrocsoleus, a solid ankle AFO should be used to assist the gastrocsoleus in ankle control. Back-kneeing that is especially difficult to control is that which is present in children who use walkers or crutches, be- cause the center of mass of the HAT segment can be so far forward that when they are placed in AFOs, the toes of the shoes and AFOs will just rise with all the weight being borne on the heel. This persistent back-kneeing in spite of appropriate orthotics in children with assistive devices may cause progressive back-kneeing because of increasing knee hyperextension and the development 324 Cerebral Palsy Management Case 7.
